Rapid Afridi knock has Pakistan in finals: 2014 Asia Cup (Mirpur)

All rounder Shahid Afridi smashed the second fastest one-day half-century in 18 balls and Ahmed Shehzad hit a ton to give Pakistan a three wicket win over Bangladesh and a place in the Asia Cup final to face Sri Lanka.

Earlier, Bangladesh posted 326-3, its highest score in one-day internationals, but couldn't prevent Pakistan from achieving its biggest run chase in ODIs, reaching the target with a ball to spare. Pakistan 329 for 7 (Shehzad 103, Alam 74, Afridi 59, Hafeez 52) beat Bangladesh 326 for 3 (Anamul 100, Kayes 59, Mominul 51, Mushfiqur 51* ) by three wickets.
